Well Frank, 14 min. AND the correct answer.

The cam was retarded _30 degrees_.

The funny thing was - the pickup point for the valve coming off the seat 
(in the is case 24 BTDC) was correct, but the valve back to seat was 
retarded quite a bit (maybe 30 degrees - once I measured that it was off, 
I started checking the lobe centers). The lobed centers were off by more 
than 25 degrees, so I backed them in to the 108 called for on the sheet.

I can't wait to start the motor.

Now I have to fix the stripped out threads on the frame for the front 
frame crossmember. :-(

Hello - NAPA? Heli-coils? I'm there!

Thanks for playing!
